Ever since I was a little girl, promises have dictated my life. Promises with my parents, cousins, friends. It facilitated friendships, challenged me and encouraged self-love and growth. Aside from the common day agreements that I would make with pe...
Not even a day after Soma announced that he was going to take Konishi-senpai's place in a Shokugeki against Ikumi, every single person in the school had been informed about it. It was published in the school newspapers and all that anyone could gossip about was that predicament.
When Ikumi delivered the news to Erina from Amai, that Amai was certain Soma would win the Shokugeki, Erina was enraged. She couldn't believe that her cousin believed that a plebeian like Soma could win against Ikumi who was the 'meat master.' Sending off Hisato to bring Amai to her, Erina sat in her seat biting hard on her lip.
"How can she believe that, that peasant could win? Against my enforcers." Erina remarked, slamming her fist onto the desk. A knock on the door was heard and in walked Hisato with Amai by her side. Amai's face held an innocent smile, like she had no idea why she was called to her dear cousin's office.
"My dear cousin. What is it that you have summoned me for?" Amai asked mockingly, as if she was clueless about the situation. With a glare at her cousin Erina shouted, "How can you side with the likes of that commoner?!" Amai didn't look amused with the comment that just came out of her cousins mouth. Amai replied saying, "He's definitely not a commoner. You'll be surprised Erina-chan." She stared at Erina after her statement, making Erina shrink under her gaze.
"You know I'm always right Erina." Amai told her, knowing that she was right.
"Well wait til the day of the Shokugeki. He'll win, I'm 100% sure. Have a good day cousin." Amai added before turning her back and heading for the door. Hisato opened the door for her, Amai nodded thanking her and left Erina's office.
Days passed and it was the night before the Shokugeki. Knowing where Soma was, Amai headed for the kitchen belonging to the Don RS. Sliding the door open, she walked in to find books stacked up in piles.
"Amai!" Soma stressed dramatically, running and engulfing her in a hug. Amai pat him on the head, looking around the room to find Megumi and Konishi-senpai. The fact that Megumi was there changed the look in Amai's eyes for a split second.
"Okay, since you've failed at everything so far. We just need to think of something that will trump Ikumi's Don."
"Amai, just spit out the answer!" Soma whined, making Amai glare at him. When Soma realised that Amai was glaring at him, he backed away with his hands up in defeat.
"Just joking of course."
"Mito-san's sharpest blade is her A5 beef. You can't compete in terms of quality but you can still win as long as you remember what a don is. You can do it. I'm sure you can." She ruffled his hair and gave him a warm smile.
What is with her honey smile? I'm melting. Don't smile like that Amai.
Something clicked in his mind who jumped onto the smiling female, engulfing her in a hug. "Thank Kami, I love you Amai!" With a grin from literally ear to ear, Soma knew what he had to do.
